Agreed. the first book I read as an eBook was Jeremy Davis's excellent
Missing; Presumed Undead. I met the author once on Reddit and begged him to continue the series. (A Whodunnit mystery told from the point of view of a sentient sword-- trapped in the body of a letter opener-- attached to a film noir-style detective who just happens to be a minotaur. Seriously. Go read it.) I read it on a Handspring Visor (A cheaper version of a Palm Pilot.)
I don't mind the ability to add page animations and make it look like more of a book, but I don't think most eReaders need most of the stuff they have.
Although, as I've said before, I'm not you, so if you want every page turn to have a different animation, you do you!
